Connecting the power cords
Note:
Do NOT connect the compute node to the Power Distribution Unit in the rack. There are no external power switches for the compute node.
Connect all of the storage shelves to the Power Distribution Unit in the rack. Typically a rack has one PDU on each side at the rear of the hardware. Two PDU strips provide redundant power.
Note:
Ensure that the position of the power switches is off before the power cables are plugged in.
To connect the power cords
- Obtain two power cords for each unit.
- Note that the storage shelf cords have a right-angled connector on the end that connects to the shelf.
- Connect the right-angled ends to the Expansion shelf. Connect the strain relief bale to each power cord.
- Connect two power cords between the Expansion shelf and the PDU.
- Rewrap the plastic ties to secure each power cord.
- Connect two power cords between the Primary shelf and the PDU.
- Connect two power cords between the compute node and the PDU.
- Verify that the final power cord cabling is consistent with the following diagram.
